Problems solved by technology

Conventional stenographic keyboards, although efficient beyond the predecessor “by-hand” systems of pen-writing, still restrict the speed of the user, as they necessitate multiple strokes to form multi-syllabic words or to add word endings.
With the standard stenographic keyboard layout, the speed required of the user, for instance in a cour

Embodiment Construction

[0031] Various aspects of the present invention will evolve from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments thereof which should be referenced to the prior described drawings.

[0032] The invention as a whole is shown in the drawings by reference character 10, FIG. 1. Keyboard 10 includes a chasis or module 12 of conventional configuration. Module 12 contains a known mechanism (not shown) for transmitting key strokes on a stenographic keyboard into usable data storage media such as a tape, an electronic record, and the like, which is used for later or simultaneous transcription into readable text. Keyboard 12 possesses a plurality of conventional keys 14 which are normally pressed by the fingers of the user, specifically the finger tips. For example, such keys are lettered “T”, “P”, and “H” and the like on FIG. 1. Number bar 16 extends across keyboard 10. Of notable interest in the preferred embodiment of the present invention are keys labeled as “D” and “Z”, whi...

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention concerns a novel stenographic keyboard. [0002] Conventional stenographic keyboards, although efficient beyond the predecessor “by-hand” systems of pen-writing, still restrict the speed of the user, as they necessitate multiple strokes to form multi-syllabic words or to add word endings. [0003] With the standard stenographic keyboard layout, the speed required of the user, for instance in a courtroom setting, is unnecessarily taxing on the joints of the fingers and thumbs. [0004] In addition, the standard keyboard layout is not conducive to writing words ending in vowels, nor does it facilitate writing a word endings such as “as, es, os, is, us, ad, cd, od, id, ud” at the same time and in the same stroke used to write the rest of the word. [0005] Many keyboards have been devised to aid in the transcription of words from an oral source into a written document. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,765,764 describes a keyboard which inclu...
